Puzzling Optical Illusion Bookshelf with a Beautiful Minimalist Design

The Perfect Office #78

This highly creative shelving system was designed by John Leung from ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects and has a very intriguing appearance. According to the designer "the bookshelf looks cartoony and almost invisible but that's not even the real illusion, the real mind bender is that there are what seems like 4 shelves on the left side but only 3 shelves on the right side". We really like this feature, even though it could cause some misunderstandings when it comes to asking your girlfriend to "grab that CD on the 2nd row" for example. Simple, practical and quite stylish, the unit can serve as a storage device for small objects such as books and CDs. Be sure to check out the video at the end of the post for a general understanding of how this shelving unit can puzzle the mind. (at Freshome)

Gamer iPad Sleeve


The Perfect Office #78

Disguise your iPad as an oversized retro 8-bit gaming device that we all loved, Game Boy. Made of two felt layers that will keep your iPad safe and sound. (at Holy Cool)

Pixel Seating


The Perfect Office #78

Pixel is a new seating system from Not Tom, a small newish London-based design studio. Based on the LCD pixel, this upholstered bench can be used in commercial spaces like reception areas and can be assembled in a variety of configurations. Because it is supported by a steel frame, it is visually light yet sturdy. (at Design Milk)

AJ Fosik Outstanding Artworks

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 06:07 AM PST


Is really funny how internet at the same time that brings us some fresh artists, it just don't tell us more about them. AJ Fosink is one this cases, he got just a Myspace account and a Flickr, with no references about his person. The first time I saw his artworks I though they were hyper realistic paintings, however I got quite confused when I discovered it was all about wood, paint and nails.

I found his artworks in many art and design related websites, but it was hard to discover who was the original creator of these pieces. You can see some of his works at his Flickr and a interview here.

World Collabs 4 Winning Entry Tutorial by Mat Macquarrie

Posted: 06 Mar 2011 10:04 PM PST


Hello and welcome, this is a quick tutorial on how I created my poster concept for the World Collabs 4 competition. The tricky thing about planning a tutorial like this is, I created the elements with the 3D shapes from Joao Oliveira.

As a quick intro to this read, A World Collabs poster begins with one designer supplying some elements and the second designer adding to those elements to create a completed poster. My goal was to use the elements supplied by the collaborator as much as possible in creating my piece. For these steps, all I did was take the shapes, expand and rotate them to start forming my robot and it's environment. Later I pasted a robotic eye that I created for a previous project. A link to a separate tutorial detailing how I made the robotic eye can be found at the bottom of this page.

Robot Face

I started by trying to frame the environment for the face to hover in. I flipped the shapes around to create what I called a rubber-room effect on the sides. Then I just started layering shapes one at a time until the robot started to take shape.

Effects

Once the robot was complete, I added a glow effect on the upper left of the skull-plate. I selected a wide circle brush and set the hardness to 0 and 70% flow and threw a quick dot and set it's layer style to Linear-dodge.

Final Result

I figured the blue/black colour palette would be pretty popular among other entries so I wanted to change it to something else. I opened channel mixer and tweaked it until the dark blues turned to the gold/plum colour that I have now. Then I just layered a quick title and a signature and I'm done.

I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
